no sir.

$$\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{sir}. \\ $$

If we put b=d=0 ((19a)/d)=19⇒ a=d f(x)=x b=0 or a=−d so when b=0 a need not be −d

$$\mathrm{If}\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{put}\:\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{d}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{19a}}{\mathrm{d}}=\mathrm{19}\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{a}=\mathrm{d} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)={x} \\ $$$${b}=\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{a}=−\mathrm{d} \\ $$$$\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{when}\:\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{need}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{be}\:−\mathrm{d} \\ $$

f(x)=x⇒f(f(x))=x f(59)=59 a=1 b=c=0 d=1

$${f}\left({x}\right)={x}\Rightarrow{f}\left({f}\left({x}\right)\right)={x} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{59}\right)=\mathrm{59} \\ $$$${a}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${b}={c}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${d}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$

Sir, if b= c=d=0 f(x)=((ax+b)/(cx+d))=((1x+0)/(0x+0))=(x/0)=?

$$\boldsymbol{{Sir}},\:{if}\:{b}=\:{c}={d}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{{ax}+{b}}{{cx}+{d}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}{x}+\mathrm{0}}{\mathrm{0}{x}+\mathrm{0}}=\frac{{x}}{\mathrm{0}}=? \\ $$

Thanks. Correctrd b=c=0 d=1 so that f(x)=x

wrong sir

$$\mathrm{wrong}\:\mathrm{sir} \\ $$

You are right. I did not read question properly. Question specifically said a,b,c,d are not zero.

For all x ,f(f(x))=x ,i.e ((a(((ax+b)/(cx+d)))+b)/(c(((ax+b)/(cx+d)))+d)) = x, i.e (((a^2 +bc)x+b(a+d))/(c(a+d)x+bc+d^2 )) = x , i.e c(a+d)x^2 +(d^2 −a^2 )x−b(a+d)=0, which implies c(a+d)=0 , since c ≠0 we must have a=−d . The conditions f(19)=19 and f(97)=97 lead to the equations { ((19^2 c=2.19a+b)),((97^2 c=2.97a+b)) :} Hence (97^2 −19^2 )c = 2(97−19)a it follows that a=18c ,which in turn leads to b=−1843c therefore f(x)=((58x−1843)/(x−58)) so f(59)=((58×59−1843)/(59−58)) =1579
